Miss it!

[JOETELCO]

I was stationed there from 66 to 68...5010th Civil Engineering Sq. I worked in the CH&PP and had civilians for bosses. (GS11 & F10). I was only 20 years old & it was my first PCS. Bought & sold a car & traveled to Anchorage in 1966...2 years after that major quake. I had a great time up there but counted the days remaining on my "short timers calendar"! A great experience!

Well done ! I was there 89-91 with the RC-135X. It was the greatest experience of my life.

Thanks for the video !

[SoaringEagle2005]

Mosquitoes? I thought they preferred hot, humid climates...

[gotyouoncamera]

@SoaringEagle2005 summer time up here=lots of mostquitoes

[AfFireDawgWife]

My husband and I are currently stationed there until 2011. I would have to agree with superdestroyer!!! I hate the freezin cold long days and long nights and those damn mosquitoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Place to visit but not to stay!

[FSXplayer15]

@AfFireDawgWife I used to fly F-15's out of Eielson AFB. I loved flying them in the cold because of there avionics change, but yes, the mosquitoes are very annoying.

[canals22]

@AfFireDawgWife Savor it, you will miss it once you leave. You will talk about it the rest of your life.

Respectfully.

An old Sac crew-chief.

I was at Eielson in 1981-1983..... awesome adventure!!!!!!!!!!

[BarbaraVValters]

I was there from 97-00. I hated it there, but this gives me a homesick feeling. Brings back some memories... cold mostly, but some good.

[superdestroyer2011]

I was stationed there in 1981 - I will have to admit - I hated it. The cold, the dark, the mosquitoes ohhhh noooo. Not a bad place to visit but I would never live there by choice.

I spent five years stationed in Alaska. Got one year at King Salmon AFS. Spent a wonderful winter going through arctic survival training, the "warmest" day we had was a balmy -16 below. Miss that Alaskan lifestyle.

[MeijiJudo]

I was a military dependant in there from 2003-2006

[ushockey8]

[SurfingKoa]

Stationed there from '89 to '92. Memories...

[3OCALM1]

I was stationed there in way back in 1983-84 when we had A-10's. It was my first assignment after tech school. I see some changes have been made but I also see a lot of familiar things.

Thanks for posting this.

[hootameyer]

My Son is there & loves it, US Air Force, "Look Up & Look out". Michigan's loss is Eielson's gain by getting my Son. Thinking about a road trip to see it for myself.

[rossiter09]

I was stationed there from Jan 02 to July 05. Never thought I would say this but I miss that place...

Every moment on base is a kodiak moment. That's what I love about this place but the only bad thing I hate is how cold it gets here -_-
